While LG pushes expectations of what display quality to expect in the budget market, it falls short in other more important aspects—such as the camera and overall performance. Due to this, you’re likely better off looking at other options unless you absolutely must have an 18:9 screen on a budget.

Unless you’re looking at the phone’s bigger sibling -- the P20 Pro -- the P20 has little competition at its price point. A great camera, all-day battery, vivid screen, and plenty of power make it a great choice for anyone looking for a top-tier device at a lower price.
